That's really cool, love those BBC nature videos that feature predator and prey. Where those herring?

Amazing footage

That humpback swallowed the whole bail ball.

BBC has a series called Blue Planet and there is some amazing footage of baitballs and predators from all around the world, and some BC northcoast footage.

Good thing for the camera man that he wasn't doing the "in the baitball shot" when that whale came up! Now THAT would have been some classic footage!

X2 on the Blue Planet series if people have not seen it. Amazing under water shots of "blue water" bait balls being attacked by tuna and swordfish. Fantastic footage and highly recommended.

Humpback whales do not have teeth. They are filter feeders with a mouth full of bristles called baleen. They eat mostly krill but clearly are happy with herring too....

Judging from the footage I'm pretty sure it would have been almost impossible for the whale to not have accidentally engulfed at least a couple of gulls if not more.
